  • the present invention relates to the field of semiconductor technology, and more particularly, to a light-emitting composite film layer, a backlight module, and a display device.
  • Quantum dots are semiconductor nanocrystalline material composed of dozens of atoms. Their three-dimensional sizes are all within 100 nanometers, and they can produce light with a specific wavelength in their electronic excited states. QDs with different material compositions or different sizes have different light emission wavelengths. Because QDs have smaller particle sizes less than or close to an exciton Bohr radius, their internal electron transport is limited, limitation and coherence of electrons are enhanced, a quantum confinement effect is significant, and their continuous band structures become discrete level structures with molecular properties, so that the QDs with different sizes have different electron and hole confinement levels. Therefore, after being excited by external energy, electron transition will occur and fluorescence will be emitted, and the quantum dots with different sizes will emit different colors of light.
  • QDs have been widely used in lighting and display fields due to their excellent properties such as narrow half-peak width, high luminous purity, and adjustable emission wavelength with their sizes.
  • Display technology has experienced continuous development from thick to thin, black and white to color, and clear to high definition. These include early cathode ray tube technology and plasma display technology, as well as today's mainstream organic light-emitting diode display technology and liquid crystal display technology.

  • Quantum dots have the following three characteristics: quantum size effect, surface effect, and quantum tunneling effect.
  • the quantum size effect also known as quantum confinement effect, refers to a fact that in semiconductor nanomaterials, when a size of a quantum dot is reduced to less than or close to an exciton Bohr radius, movement of electrons will be constrained to cause energy splitting and an increase in bandgap.
  • the surface effect means that as a size of semiconductor nanoparticles decreases, a specific surface area (surface area/volume) increases significantly. A ratio of a number of atoms on a surface of the nanoparticles to a total number of atoms thereof has increased sharply.
  • the quantum dot of the present invention adopts a ligand structure composed of a light-emitting core, a conductor shell, and a wide-gap organic compound coated on the shell to prevent non-radiative recombination due to an increase in unsaturated dangling bonds on the surface of the quantum dot, thereby reducing luminous efficiency.
  • Quantum tunneling effect is as follows: assume that a particle with certain energy moves from the left side to the right side of the barrier. In classical mechanics, only particles with energy greater than the barrier can cross the barrier to the right, and particles with energy less than the barrier are reflected and cannot pass through the barrier. However, in quantum mechanics, the situation is different.
  • quantum dots Because the particles show obvious fluctuations, not only particles with energy greater than the barrier can pass, but particles with energy less than the barrier also have a certain probability to cross the barrier to the right. In this situation, the phenomenon that particles with energy lower than the barrier height can still penetrate the barrier is called the quantum tunneling effect.
  • quantum dots also exhibit some other characteristics, such as the Coulomb blocking effect, quantum interference effect, multibody correlation, and nonlinear effects, etc. Based on these characteristics of the quantum dots, the present invention has a special design for component selection and preparation method of the quantum dots to ensure excellent optical performance of the quantum dot film.
  • green light quantum dot can also be called “green quantum dot”, which emits green light when excited and the term “red light quantum dot” can also be called “red quantum dot”, which emits red light when excited.
  • the shell and layer of a quantum dot have a great influence on the light-emitting properties of the quantum dot (such as fluorescence peak position, fluorescence quantum yield, light stability, fluorescence full width at half maximum, etc.).
  • the degree of lattice constant mismatch between the core material and the shell material needs to be considered. If the difference in lattice constants is small, the shell is grown in epitaxial growth mode.
  • the shell When the difference in lattice constants is large, epitaxial growth is difficult to carry out, and the shell will cause a formation of lattice dislocations and defects, destroy a shape structure of the quantum dots, and cause fluorescence yield to decrease.
  • the fluorescence peak position often changes.
  • the increase of thickness of the shell also makes the size distribution of the quantum dots larger. As a result, the fluorescence full width at half maximum of the quantum dots becomes larger. Therefore, the present invention comprehensively considers the above factors, and the green light quantum dots and the red light quantum dots are provided with the light-emitting shell and the inorganic protective shell material so that the quantum dot film finally obtained has excellent optical properties.
  • the green light quantum dots include a luminescence nuclei including one or more of ZnCdSe 2 , InP, and Cd 2 SSe, an inorganic protective shell including one or more of CdS, ZnSe, ZnCdS 2 , ZnS, and ZnO, and a surface ligand including one or more of amine, organic acid, mercaptan, and organic phosphorus.
  • the red light quantum dots include a luminescence nuclei including one or more of CdSe, Cd 2 SeTe, and InAs, an inorganic protective shell comprising one or more of CdS, ZnSe, ZnCdS 2 , ZnS, and ZnO, and a surface ligand comprising one or more of amine, organic acid, mercaptan, and organic phosphorus.

  • the type of inorganic nanomaterial can be selected according to actual needs, and it is preferably one or more of TiO 2 , ZnS, and ZrO 2 .
  • the above-mentioned preferred inorganic nanomaterial can more effectively transmit red light and green light, and have a scattering effect on blue light, eliminate the light type difference between the blue backlight and the red and green light of the quantum dots, and reduce or even eliminate the large viewing angle color cast.
  • the light-diffusing particles can be spherical or irregularly shaped particles. Those skilled in the art can select a particle size of the light-diffusing particles according to actual needs.
  • the particle size of the inorganic nanomaterial is less than 50 nm, and is more preferably less than 20 nm.
  • the light-diffusing particles can also be a micron-scale inorganic material.
  • the quantum dot film layer is obtained by adding the quantum dots, the light diffusion particles, a dispersant, and a first diluent to a first dispersion medium and mixing them uniformly.

Those skilled in the art can also set the molar ratio of red quantum dots to green quantum dots according to actual needs.
